How Franklin Compares to Other Areas

Franklin's zone 7b climate creates a distinct set of tree options. To see how it differs, compare with three other ZIP codes where Arbor Buddy ships.

ZIP 95962 in Oregon House, California (CA) sits in zone 9b, with winter lows of 25 to 30 degrees F. The cold-hardiness needed in Franklin is much greater. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can survive single-digit lows, such as American Sycamore or Hetzii Columnaris Chinese Juniper. In Oregon House, the mild winters allow many subtropical and low-chill fruit trees that would not make it through a Franklin winter.

ZIP 85355 in Waddell, Arizona (AZ) is also zone 9b, with winter lows around 25 to 30 degrees F. The practical difference is drought tolerance. Waddell's dry heat demands trees that survive with little water, like desert-adapted species. Franklin gets regular rainfall and humidity, so drought-stressing is less of a concern. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle wet soil and humid summers, such as crape myrtles and sweetgums.

ZIP 33154 in Miami Beach, Florida (FL) is zone 11a, with winter lows of 40 to 45 degrees F. The heat and humidity tolerance there is extreme, with tropicals thriving. Franklin's winters are cold enough that tropical trees cannot survive. The practical difference is that Franklin buyers need cold-hardy deciduous and evergreen trees, while Miami Beach residents can grow palms and tropical flowering species. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that go dormant in winter, like Japanese maples and fruit trees that require chill hours.

What this means for your cart: Franklin's zone 7b calls for trees that can handle both cold winters and humid summers. The featured trees on this page are all proven performers for this climate.
